Add a rugged, dependable sling attachment to your AR the right way. The LBE Unlimited AR Swivel Assembly includes a Mil-Spec steel sling swivel and install rivet in a durable black finish—everything you need to restore or outfit a classic AR-15/M16/M4 front sling point. Perfect for A2-style front sight bases and many GI-pattern builds, this assembly brings back the quiet, low-profile carry solution that’s proven through decades of field use.

Why Choose the LBE Unlimited AR Swivel Assembly?
True Mil-Spec Form & Function
Built to GI pattern dimensions for reliable fit on compatible AR-15/M16/M4 front sight base (FSB) setups.
Complete Hardware Included
Comes with the steel swivel and rivet—no last-minute trips for missing parts.
Rugged Steel + Black Finish
Durable steel construction with a corrosion-resistant black coating stands up to rain, dust, and high-round-count classes.
Quiet, Low-Snag Carry
The simple swivel design keeps your sling close to the rifle and reduces snag potential with plate carriers, packs, and brush.
Perfect for Clone & Retro Builds
Ideal for A2/A4 clone projects and any build that calls for a front sight base sling point instead of rail-mounted QD sockets.
Compatibility Note: Intended for FSB-mounted sling positions that accept a riveted swivel. Not a QD push-button interface. Verify your front sight base and handguard cap style before purchase.

Installation Overview (High-Level)
Verify Clear: Ensure the rifle is unloaded; remove mag and check chamber.
Prep the FSB: Support the front sight base properly; align the swivel ears.
Insert Swivel & Rivet: Place the swivel between the FSB ears, insert the rivet through the ears and swivel eyelet.
Peen/Rivet in Place: Using the appropriate rivet set and support anvil, peen the rivet until secure and flush.
Function Check: Confirm free swivel rotation and no binding against the FSB or handguard cap.
If you don’t have riveting tools or experience, a qualified armorer/gunsmith can install the assembly quickly and ensure proper staking/peening.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe After Weather: Lightly oil after rain or high humidity to prevent surface rust.
Inspect Seasonally: Check for excessive wear, bends, or loose rivet peening.
Mind the Webbing: Replace frayed sling webbing; keep grit out of the swivel for quiet movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit rail-mounted gas blocks?
A: It’s designed for FSB ears that accept a riveted swivel. Low-profile or railed gas blocks typically need M-LOK/QD sling mounts instead.
Q: Is this a QD push-button swivel?
A: No. This is a traditional steel swivel for 1" slings with a rivet install—perfect for clone builds and GI setups.
Q: What sling size works best?
A: 1" GI webbing slings are the standard match. Some 1.25" slings may not feed freely through the eyelet.
Q: Do I need special tools?
A: A rivet set, anvil/support, and hammer (or press) are recommended. Improvised methods risk damaging the FSB ears.
Q: Will it interfere with handguards?
A: On in-spec A2/A4 FSBs, the swivel clears standard handguard caps. Always check movement after installation.
